Expert guidance on contracts, absence, grievances, restructures, and staff issues.
Financial protection against employment tribunal claims, included as standard.
Employment law and sector changes flagged before they become your problem.
Built around your school, not a generic template. Every contract, policy, and procedure is written for your setting. From staff policies and procedures to safeguarding-aligned HR documentation, your framework will be ready for Ofsted scrutiny.
Frequently Asked Questions
Managing HR in education comes with added responsibility. Safeguarding duties, staff-pupil boundaries and strict regulatory standards leave little room for error. Schools must meet employment law requirements while staying aligned with Ofsted expectations.
Avensure provides 24/7 expert advice to help headteachers and business managers deal with misconduct, safeguarding concerns and performance issues properly. We help you act early, reduce legal risk and protect your school from costly tribunal claims.
Our fixed-fee model means schools know exactly what they're paying each month. Packages start from £200, covering your HR personnel, legal expertise and tribunal protection. The final figure depends on the size of your staff and the level of support you need. Click here to request a bespoke, no-obligation quote for your school today.
